Size the Vent and Combustion Air Pipes
Furnace combustion air and vent pipe connections are sized for 2-in. (50
mm ND) PVC/ABS DWV pipe. The combustion air and vent pipe
connections also accommodate 60 mm polypropylene venting systems
with outside diameters of approximately 60 mm (2-3/8 inches). Any pipe
diameter change should be made outside furnace casing in vertical pipe.
Any change in diameter to the pipe must be made as close to the furnace
as reasonably possible, see
.
The Maximum Vent Length for the vent and combustion air pipe (when
used) is determined from the Maximum Equivalent Vent Length in
minus the number of fittings multiplied by the deduction for
each type of fitting used from

Recommended Combustion Air Inlet Moisture Trap
To prevent moisture from trickling into the furnace vestibule, a trap can
be installed in the intake air pipe near the furnace. To prevent moisture,

OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION FOR COMBUSTION
AIR INLET PIPE
In applications where there is a risk of excessive moisture entering the
combustion air inlet pipe, a moisture trap may be added to the inlet pipe
to help prevent moisture from entering the furnace from the combustion
air inlet pipe, see
.
When sizing venting systems, the equivalent length of the optional
moisture trap (15 feet/5 M) must be taken into account.
